Lyra Goes Insane: The Story

"Lyra, I'm home!"

>Bon Bon enters Lyra, her marefriend's, house

>she's been staying with her for a while

>she looks around, can't find Lyra anywhere

"Lyra? Where are you?"

>she checks the kitchen, bedroom, and living room

"Oh, she's probably in the little filly's room."

>she walks up to the bathroom

>the occasional laugh can be heard within

"Lyra? Are you ok?"

>no response

>she knocks on the door thrice

>the door creaks open

>Lyra is curled up in a ball, laughing every now and then

"Oh hi, Bon Bon. You want to talk about, he he, humans?"

 

"We've been over this before, Lyra. Humans aren't real."

>Bon Bon sighed, before turning to leave, but then...

"I saw one!"

>Bon Bon stopped, looked at Lyra

"Really? Where?"

"In this house! In fact there's one right next to you!"

>Bon Bon looked to her left and right, a bit shocked

>she sees nothing

"Lyra, you haven't been sleeping much..."

"How can I sleep when, hee hee, there's new humans around?!"

>Bon Bon is now a bit scared

"Come on, Lyra, we should go to bed."

>Lyra suddenly glares

"NO! I need to meet the humans!"

>Bon Bon is now on verge of shitting bricks

"Uh, ok, I'll just...go now..."

"Bye Bon Bon! Bye anon!"

>Bon Bon closes the door slowly then runs like hell to her study

>she begins writing

"Dear Ponyville Hospital, I am sending this because my marefriend, Lyra Heartstrings, is possibly insane."

 

>some time later

>there's a knock on the door

>Bon Bon goes to answer it

>there's some stallions standing in the doorway

"Bon Bon, correct?"

"Yes?"

"We're here for Lyra Heartstrings."

>suddenly Bon Bon is scared

"She's...upstairs, in the bathroom."

>they nod, and enter

>a while later, screaming

"NO! YOU CAN'T TAKE ME AWAY!"

"Ms. Heartstrings, we will restrain you if you don't come with us calmly."

>it sinks in

>Bon Bon is losing her beloved

>and she can't do a thing about it

 

>she runs upstairs

"NO! WAIT!"

>the guards have restrained Lyra

>it's too late

"Was there something you needed, miss?"

"I...I..."

>one of the guards realizes what's up

"I'm sorry, but we have to take her. But when she recovers, she will come back, we promise."

>the guards all nod

>Bon Bon looks down, tears in her eyes

"...Ok."

>she walks off

"Bon Bon, you can't do this to me! Come back! COME BACK! Tell them I'm fine! PLEASE!"

>crying can be heard

>Bon Bon just goes to her study, trying to not pay attention to the cries for help

>eventually the cries fade out

>Lyra must've been taken to the hospital

>Bon Bon begins to cry as she realizes she may never see her again

 

>months later

>Bon Bon still hasn't gotten over Lyra's arrest

>she's cleaning the house for the second time that week

>she never touched one room of the house though

>Lyra's study

>when she moved in, Lyra made her promise that she won't go in Bon Bon's study if she doesn't go in Lyra's study

>Bon Bon had no choice, really

>she didn't want to reveal her candy-making secrets to anyone

>of course Lyra quickly broke her end of the deal

>and she still never let Bon Bon in hers

>now that she was gone Bon Bon could've went in whenever she wanted

>but what if she noticed when she came back?

>Bon Bon shook her head

"You're in denial, Bon Bon. She won't come back..."

 

>she puts down the duster and gulps

>she opens the door

>inside the study is a mess of books and notes

>she looks at some notes

"About humans. What a surprise."

>her sarcasm is only a way to prevent herself from bursting into tears at the thought of violating her promise

>she looks at all the notes, with a snarky comment for each one

>except for a book

"Lyra's diary?"

>she feels like she can't read it

>but it's a slippery slope and by now she's on a toboggan, enjoying the ride

>she opens the first page, reads out loud

"Dear Diary,

 

Bon Bon suggested I should write a book about humans, in her 'I don't believe a damn word you say' tone. On one hand, it's a good idea. On the other, she's just being a non-believer as usual. Might as well compromise and write a diary instead.

 

So I swore I saw another human. It was right before I fell asleep. Damn it! I'll have to figure a way to catch them before I do.."

 

>she flips to the next page

 

"Dear Diary,

 

Again! Ugh, I'll never catch them! They're sneakier than a changeling, or a ninja, or a ninja changeling! But one day I will..."

 

>she keeps flipping pages, every one about her failed attempts at catching humans

>eventually reaches a rather terrifying page

 

"Dear Diary

 

I did it

 

I found a human

 

All i had to do was just not sleep

 

He talked to me called himself anon

 

Im going to talk to him again tonight"

 

>Bon Bon realized that this is when Lyra began to break from reality

 

>she looks through some more, reading about her supposed encounters with humans

>eventually she reaches the last page before it all becomes blank

 

"dear diary

 

i love all thse humans

 

theyre so fun

 

im going to have a party with them in the bathroom

 

not that kind of party you silly filly

 

ok bye bye"

 

"...Oh Celestia, Lyra..."

>Bon Bon finally bursts into tears

>her tears dampen the pages

>that's how she notices the paper is twice as thick as she thought

>she attempts to pull it apart, but it's glued

>her tears managed to make it weaker, however

>she finally pulls it apart after a while

>what's inside is even worse

 

"Hey, Lyra.

 

I recommend you glue these pages together, as well as all the others.

 

Anyway, Bon Bon's going to call some bad ponies to take you away, so remember, do NOT let them make you believe we aren't real, ok?

 

That's it, really. We hope you come back.

 

Sincerely,

 

Anon"

 

>Bon Bon blinked

>she flipped through the pages again, trying to find the extra thick ones

>they all consisted of 'anon' encouraging her to keep trying

>eventually she reached the page between the first and second entries

 

"Hello, Lyra.

 

My name is anon.

 

My friends and I have been hiding from you, but you've been rather good at finding us. However, you aren't perfect.

 

So here's how this will work. You find us, we will be your friends. Find us all and we'll have a party.

 

Oh, and we're hiding from other ponies, so you won't get help, sorry. Not that they'll believe you.

 

Good luck,

 

Anon"

 

>Bon Bon quickly turned around

>she could've sworn she heard some hoofsteps
